–Abundant as it may seem, in Nigeria, access to clean and potable water is a great challenge. Hence, the reason the physiochemical properties of the groundwater in Agbowo and Ajibode communities in Oyo State, Southwestern Nigeria was analyzed. Water samples were collected from fifteen shallow wells, with varying depths. The water quality parameters were analyzed in accordance to standard method...

In this work, we leverage a mathematical model of the underlying physiochemical properties of tissues and physicochemical properties of molecules to support the development of hepatoselective glucokinase activators. Passive distribution is modeled via a Fick-Nernst-Planck approach, using in vitro experimental data to estimate the permeability of both ionized and neutral species. The model accou...

We have shown previously that human leukocyte antigen (HLA) immunogenicity, defined by the physiochemical properties of mismatched amino acids, predicts humoral alloimmunity, and now report the effect on long-term graft survival after kidney transplantation. The influence of HLA-A and -B mismatch, number of amino acid mismatches (after interlocus subtraction) and their physiochemical (electrost...

The effect of prior eccentric contractions on skeletal muscle lactate/H+transport was investigated in rats. Lactate transport was measured in sarcolemmal giant vesicles obtained from soleus and red (RG) and white gastrocnemii (WG) muscles 2 days after intense eccentric contractions (ECC) and from the corresponding contralateral control (CON) muscles. The physiochemical buffer capacity was deter...

Nanotechnology has emerged as one of the leading fields of the science having tremendous application in diverse disciplines. As nanomaterials are increasingly becoming part of everyday consumer products, it is imperative to assess their impact on living organisms and on the environment. Physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticles and engineered nanomaterials including size, shape, chemical...

Simple chemical and thermal treatments were applied to prepare fluorinated porcine hydroxyapatite (FPHA). Morphology of FPHA was observed using SEM. Physiochemical characteristics, namely crystalline phase, chemical composition, functional groups, and binding energy of fluorine were investigated using XRD, EDX, FTIR, and XPS respectively. Concentration of free fluoride ion released from FPHA in...

We can recover genetic information from organisms of all kinds using environmental sampling. In recent years, sequencing this environmental DNA (eDNA) has become a tractable means of surveying many species using water, air, or soil samples. The technique is beginning to become a core tool for ecologists, environmental scientists, and biologists of many kinds, but the temporal resolution of eDNA...

The dosage of drugs in patients requiring continuous renal replacement therapy need to be adjusted based on a number of variables that that affect pharmacokinetics (PK) including patient weight, CRRT modality (convention, vs. diffusion), blood and/or effluent flow, hemofilter characteristics, physiochemical drug properties, volume of distribution, protein binding and half-life as well as residu...
